А.С. Суворин в дневника С.И. Смирновой-Сазоновой (Часть 1)

Abstract

The article (Part I) is based on the impressive collection of previously unpublished diaries (69 notebooks, 32 973 pages) of Sofia Smirnova-Sazonova, writer and journalist (1852—1921). The diaries are kept in the Manu­script department of the Institute of Russian Literature (“The Pushkin House”) in St Petersburg; they span 44 years of Smirnova’s life, the leitmotif being her close friendship with Suvorin. Drawing on the extensive diary material, the pub­lisher brings into the public domain a series of episodes which close some gaps in Suvorin’s biography and add to our understanding of the famous media tycoon. The excerpts from Smirnova’s diaries are annotated, providing historical context as well as the necessary and sufficient reference. - See more at: http://nlobooks.ru/node/6291#sthash.903HEz2g.dpuf
